Vienna Waits for You! The old imperial residence city, now a modern art centre, remains a city for connoisseurs - whether you want to enjoy immortal waltzes, the exciting tension between imperial and modern architecture, a relaxed shopping trip or simply the sweet life between coffeehouses and Heurigen, trendy bars and sausage vendors, discos and beisels. There is much to see: From Gothic St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the Imperial Palace to the Art Nouveau splendour of the Secession, from the magnificent baroque palace Schönbrunn to the Museum of Fine Arts to modern architecture at the MuseumsQuartier. Exhibitions and Museums Beautiful art of bygone eras, innovative creations of the present and a wealth of other arts & delights await you. Attractions range from the MuseumsQuartier Wien, the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, the Liechtenstein Museum to the reopened Albertina Schönbrunn Palace Visit Empress Sisi’s former summer residence. This baroque complex contains an enchanting park, the Palm House, the Gloriette and a zoo. Spend an entire day at Schönbrunn: visit the show rooms with a "Grand Tour with Audio Guide," admire the splendid Bergl Rooms, and stroll through the “Labyrinth.” Historic Center of Vienna: Part of UNESCO'S World Cultural Heritage The historic center of Vienna has been added to UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage list. Thus, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Imperial Palace and many other historic buildings are now recognized as being among the 700 outstanding cultural and natural monuments of mankind. Imperial Palace - Hofburg The Imperial Palace was the residence of the Habsburg emperors until 1918. Originally a medieval castle, of which only the chapel has survived to this day, the residence of the court was expanded and made ever more lavish as the power of the Habsburgs grew and the territory of their dominions increased. Imperial Silver Collection The table decorations, centerpieces, trays, serving bowls, serving pieces, place settings, silverware and other utensils on display here are proof of the great extent to which a meal at the imperial court was an affair of state, an occasion of splendor and pomp. Secular and Ecclesiastical Treasuries In this, the most important treasury in the world, the most magnificent individual treasures are the imperial crown of the Holy Roman Empire (crafted around 962), the crown of the Austrian Empire (1602, before 1804 merely the family crown of the Habsburgs), the Burgundian treasure (15th century) and the treasure of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Giant Ferris Wheel In 1896-97, the English engineering firm of Walter Basset built the Giant Ferris Wheel, which has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Vienna (other ferris wheels they had built in Chicago, London, Blackpool and Paris have long since been scrapped). St. Stephen's Cathedral In the centre of the city rises the 137-meter-high Steffl, the south tower of Gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral. Each stone of this Vienna landmark oozes history. |
